So, 'To Be... A Classic' is this documentary that dives deep into Ernst Lubitsch's work, particularly focusing on 'To Be or Not to Be.' You’ve got Janet Bergstrom, who’s really knowledgeable, and N.T. Bihn, a film journalist, both of whom bring a lot to the table. They talk about Lubitsch's unique style and the nuances of his films, like how he played with comedy and drama in a way that feels so effortless. The pacing is pretty engaging, mixing their discussions with some archival footage, including glimpses of Truffaut and Berri, which gives it this authentic vibe. It’s a nice blend of academic insight and historical context, making it distinct for anyone who appreciates the craft behind classic cinema.
